It aims to protect nature from the potential risks posed by such organisms byestablishing procedures countries can use to make informed decisions on the import of such organisms. While Canada has not signed this protocol, we do take the potential risk to nature such organisms can pose seriously.

Book Description
"The London Protocol controls marine pollution by prohibiting the disposal of wastes at sea. Only a very short list of wastes can be disposed of, and only after they have been assessed and issued a permit. In 2018, Canadians have been elected to Chair two sub-bodies of the Protocol (the Scientific Group and the Compliance Group). The London Convention stopped the dumping of industrial waste at sea. The newer Protocol will replace the Convention. The Protocol is taking action to address marine pollution issues like plastic pollution. It is the first global treaty to control marine geoengineering activities like ocean fertilization, which can cause severe effects in very large areas of the ocean that last a very long time"--Plain language summary.
